'Tessier-Lavigne will be blamed for his vigorous and sometimes bombastic denials of scientific misconduct (here, here, and here), which while perhaps technically correct, don’t read well in light of a report that says his lab culture allowed repeated manipulation of research data. But there is another big issue here that is important for science—running a research laboratory is a full-time job and can’t be done effectively when the principal investigator is simultaneously fulfilling a challenging administrative role.'
The monarch caterpillars in our garden haven’t been surviving over the past two years & I shared my disappointment with a friend in horticulture. It may have been due to neighbors pesticides, predators, or some other factor.
She suggested collecting caterpillars just after they hatch, and providing fresh milkweed leaves daily in a protected mesh enclosure.

We're making progress on building a #Meshtastic network across PHL! In the past few weeks we've shown it's possible to send messages 5 miles or more across the city via #LoRa nodes in high places. If you work in a tall building, get in touch!
For beginners, we're running our Meshtastic 101 class on Sunday, 7/30 at 1 p.m.:

Packages that made your life easy
Pak: installs R packages from CRAN, Bioconductor, GitHub, URLs, git repositories, local files, and directories.
Thanks @jimhester & @gaborcsardi !!!
Another Approach to Package Installation
The goal of pak is to make package installation faster and more reliable. In particular, it performs all HTTP operations in parallel, so metadata resolution and package downloads are fast.pak.r-lib.org

Ozone Hole Continues Shrinking in 2022, NASA and NOAA Scientists Say
The annual Antarctic ozone hole reached an average area of 8.9 million square miles this fall, an area slightly smaller than last year and generally continuing the overall shrinking trend of recent years.Kate Ramsayer (NASA)
Nice.
Just on time for humans to finally cop on to the fact that we have killed ourselves with our carbon excesses.
The American Museum of Natural History is one of my favourite places - it was great to visit again, crowds & all. When we lived in New York, I was a volunteer at the museum - I recommend the program to anyone living in the city (you don't have to be a scientist, in my group there was everything from lawyers to bodega owners).

Profiling the expression of #transportome genes in #cancer: a systematic approach.
biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/20…
It's a bit unfinished but it's by design! We want and need #feedback from #bioinformatics and #physiology people to move forward. I've tried to follow #openscience principles, so the pipeline is completely autonomous, containerized and the code for the paper is there, included in the repos!
Profiling the Expression of Transportome Genes in cancer: A systematic approach
The transportome, the -omic layer encompassing all Ion Channels and Transporters (ICTs), is crucial for cell physiology. It is therefore reasonable to hypothesize a role of the transportome in disease, and in particular in cancer.bioRxiv

Summary of Changes Fixes CVE-2023-38403 Approved Development TicketGitLab
Is Redhat obligated to accept this pull request just because it's coming from a downstream contributor? No.
Does it always make sense to pull a minor fix into RHEL and risk the possibility of side effects? No.
Should Redhat engineers be pulling in fixes which they fully know won't be pulled into RHEL? Eh.
Does Redhat declining the very first notable contribution to Centos-stream after going scorched earth telling people to contribute to cento-stream have a bad look to it?
Yeah, this is the problem.
If you were Black and woke up in NYC on Monday, July 13, 1863, things got terrifying quick. For Black New Yorkers, there was no reprieve. Black life was dispensable to white mobs & law authorities. The Civil War, poverty, & rabid racism in 19th-century New York explains the events of that week. For Black Americans, the NYC Draft Riots were a heinous episode in an already brutal age. But it didn’t happen in a vacuum.

50 years ago, Skylab's prime spider, Arabella, was preparing for launch. From over 3,400 proposals from high school students across the country, the "Web Formation" experiment was one of 25 chosen to fly on Skylab. #Skylab50
📸 Dr. Ray Gause feeds Arabella a fly in July 1973
#NASAhistory
Judith Miles, a high school student from Lexington, Mass. (shown here discussing her project), proposed the “Web Formation in Zero Gravity” experiment to determine how well spiders adapt to microgravity.
Learn more about her experiment: go.nasa.gov/3OhDEt4
#NASAhistory
These students were the first ever to have experiments flown in space, but they weren't the last. Student experiments have been conducted on the @Space_Station over the last 20+ years.
📸 The 25 students whose Skylab experiments were chosen meet at @NASA_Marshall in May 1972
#NASAhistory
I proposed an experiment for one of the space shuttle missions that flew science “cans” when I was a kid. My idea didn’t make the cut, but I didn’t mind when I saw how amazing the winning projects were.
(Bonus pointless fact: I applied for the astronaut program when I was a grownup. I didn’t make the cut, but I didn’t mind when I saw how amazing the people who were selected turned out to be.)

My family has had good luck with Monarchs in our backyard garden, although it took several years of letting milkweed and other native plants grow wild in our yard.
We also cordon off any plants where the caterpillars build their chrysalis, so they won't be accidentally disturbed.

in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum • • •My milkweed is four yrs old. They have a tap root and take a while to show in spring. Once they poke out, they take off and will spread over time.
I leave my cats and butterflies outdoors. I have over 20 that pupated this year, and about 8 cats died. Some years will be better than others. Cycle of life. A second batch of cats have hatched and are happily fattening up.
I live in cooler canadian temps along one of the great lakes.
Plant milkweed in a sunny location. They will come. 😊
